Chapter 64: Administer a Minor Punishment
In my presence, Bian Jixiong no longer needed to maintain his facade, and he shook his head helplessly, saying: "Father, this isn't just about what you say, it's about the hearts gathering and dispersing, it's about the sect's purpose of existence. Our Sect Disciple was killed, and we're still hosting the murderer; even if you made up flowery words, it would be useless."
The White-Robed Figure paced inside without stopping, and The Aged Voice, calm like an ancient well, said: "Right and wrong, they still have to acknowledge it."
"Father's meaning?" Bian Jixiong was somewhat confused.
The White-Robed Voice said: "Verify and confirm that the Assassination was single-handedly caused by Wei Bian, find a reason as you see fit. In short, Wukang Mountain was at fault beforehand; although Shi Chun acted in self-defense, his defense was excessive.
Even if Wukang Mountain's Disciple was in the wrong, they shouldn't be killed by an Outsider without authorization. Administer a Minor Punishment and Temporarily Detain them at Wukang Mountain to perform hard labor."
If that was the case, Bian Jixiong thought he could indeed explain it to everyone, but he still asked skeptically: "Father, is it necessary to take such a Complicated Way?"
The White-Robed Figure suddenly stopped, and through the Gauze Curtain, he sighed faintly: "My Wukang Mountain is backed by the Eastern Victorious Royal Court.
We fear no Openly and Directly attacks, and few dare to Do It Openly. What we fear are Internal Threats That Are Hard to Guard Against.
Purging Internal Traitors is of Utmost Importance. While I am still alive and can suppress things, it will be easier for you to Rectify and Clean Up."
